Finally done with the #dtiys from @davilorium! this was a ride full of action, drama, and a happy ending. Swipe to see all the sketches and closeups of the finished artwork (you can see the full piece in the previous post) ---STORY TIME--- It all started with the idea of making this a card, all good And then the idea started getting more and more complex hehehe. But still good After I don’t remember how many sketches and going back and forth scanning and printing I finally settled for the lineart. Still good I tested the fine liner to see if it would bleed with water and it didn’t. GREAT I finished the lineart with some small mistakes (I mean, I wasn’t mad about it, those were A LOT of lines). I prepared everything to start coloring and that’s when I realized that I should have tested the liner on THIS paper... When I sprayed the watercolor pans some water fell on the lines and I could see my work bleeding away. NOOOOOOOOOOOO So yeah, I decided to make it digital instead because I wasn’t going to spend hours doing this again and honestly didn’t want to think of a strategy to make it right. My brain went on strike after that. I ended up using Illustrator for the lineart and coloring and Krita for adding some texture. Overall I think I I learned a lot about the materials I own and a bit more about illustrator and Krita so it was definitely not a waste of time (Right? I mean I have to think like that or my head won’t be able to take it hahaha) . . . .
